Origami Robotics

Corporate marketmanipulationCurated record

Direct-drive in-joint miniature motors eliminate gearbox backlash/friction, making the hand easier to model in simulation and better suited to learning-based control. The co-designed capture glove matches the hand's kinematics one-to-one, so real-world human manipulation data (thousands of hours claimed) can train policies deployed directly on the hardware. Positioning: robot-hand supply chain plus manipulation training data, not a whole-robot vendor.
